vin gupta, he's a critical care pulmonologist, and an msnbc medical analyst, and dr. show the play on the field one more time, for you to observe as a clinician. what you see and what happens to this player, he's made the tackle, who seems in control the play, and he stands up as we see right there a step that he just completely collapses, is there anything in that complete collapse it tells you anything medically? >> a lawrence, good evening, and first and foremost, just as a country, i hope mr. hamlin's country are on a fast path to recovery, in terms your question, i don't want to venture into the area of speculation. but in terms of what's most frightening for a young, otherwise healthy individual, professional athlete, who just experienced, based on what you just showed me, blunt force trauma to the left side of this test. but most likely happened, resulted in cardiac arrest, his heart stopped beating, quite an cpr. and essentially what that is, lawrence, is a sudden impacts, to the left side of the chest for the hard, is maybe from a baseball, maybe from tackle.

vin gupta, but maura start with the good news, there was a lot of it out of the last briefing. >> reporter: absolutely. the best news of all is the fact that damar hamlin is now awake and communicating with his doctors, his family who has been by his bedside. he can't speak because he's still relying on that breathing tube, to an extent but not nearly what it was over the past few days because he was needing the ventilator in full capacity and the doctors had sedated him as he recovered from that cardiac arrest. doctors said he's communicating by shaking his head yes and no and writing notes to his doctor. the first note he wrote was a question saying did we win. i want you to hear what the doctor said their response was. >> when he asked did we win, the answer is yes, you won. you won the game of life. and that's probably the most important thing out of this. >> reporter: so the doctors highlighted that the cpr that damar hamlin received on the field so quickly after he suffered that cardiac arrest was absolutely a game changer and could have resulted in a much different outcome. they did

vin gupta. first off, happy new year to you. i want to start off with china here.n the coming months, and what is your top concern? >> lindsey, happy new year. thank you for having me. what we know, lindsey, in china, from projections from the university of washington, is that the peak in terms of their daily deaths will probably not peak until late q1. for march, very similar to what happened in india, where the delta wave, if you remember, may n-may of 2021, peaked, and ha that doesn't seem like a clear peak, greater than 3,000 deaths at least we're estimates right now across the country, at least a million estimated infections, you're pointing to the packages, unclear, because the inputs are not very clear, and oxygen is becoming in scarce supply as well. and you'll remember that same thing in india as well. that these countries don't have enough icu beds per 100,000 people, they don't have enough oxygen, easy ways to distribute it, as a result we will see a very high peak in daily deaths come march. >> a new strain of omicron is taking over here in the u.s., do
